Episode #1: Internalized Racism
Internalized racism refers to the subtle yet pervasive ways in which individuals from marginalized racial or ethnic groups internalize negative societal messages about their own race or ethnicity. Overcoming internalized racism requires self-awareness, education, and conscious efforts to challenge and reject negative societal messages and embrace positive aspects of one's cultural heritage. It is a complex and ongoing process that necessitates collective efforts to combat racism at both individual and societal levels.
This episode of Shelley's Plumbline discusses the pervasive problem of internalized racism with Brother Ezekweh.
